Hi Manuel / Tangueros,

No, I don't class you as one of the tango 'nerds' ('anoraks' in equivalent UK parlance). In fact, I see you as my southern hemisphere "El Zorro de Tango" counterpart...!   :-)))))

>The deal is this, I don't believe in deifying anyone in tango or in any other facet of life

Although I entirely agree with you, I have to say the Gustavo is, *for me*, one of the few exceptions, and it takes a great 'icon' for me to make any sort of exception!

Having thus deified him (tango-wise), I still think "The Tango Lesson" was an utterly crap 'film'...!  >:-)))))

Very best wishes
Dani ~
`El Zorro de Tango' >:-)))))

Hi Danni,

I understand your point of view. I hope you don't lump me in the tango-nerd 
category as I'm fairly iconoclastic myself ;-))) The deal is this, I don't 
belive in deifying anyone in tango or in any oither facet of life. Actually, 
I rather skeptical abput all the waxing lirycal about the innefabilty of the 
tango moment, etc. I actually consider many of the current icons of tango 
(in the US, Argentina and the world) to be fairly overrated and IMHO, some 
are outright frauds. However, I'm not disposed to attack, denean or 
otherwise defame any of these folks or their teachings and doctrines. 
Perhaps Chris is merely stirring up controversy or trying to inject humor in 
the discussion. The problem is that things  written in these forums can 
sometimes become de facto "truths". I just wanted to set the record 
straight.

Cheers,

Manuel
